Yeah, the first argument backs the notion that there are developers who are 10x better than than the worst developers -- I take "10x" developer more to mean 10x

Yeah, the first argument backs the notion that there are developers who are 10x better than than the worst developers -- I take "10x" developer more to mean 10x the average/typical developer. Also I love, love this line: "10 engineers writing the wrong code could definitely be out performed by a single engineer writing the right code." Especially as it extends up the chain -- 10 employees building the right product can outperform 100 employees building the wrong product. Etc.
